The Biar Aqueduct, located in the village of Biar in Valencia's Alacant province, east of the main road from Banyeres de Mariola, heads north. This aqueduct, built during the Gothic era by Pere Compte, an architect from Girona, features two ogival arches and one semicircular arch. The Biar Aqueduct was constructed around 1490 to overcome the Rambla dels Molins. The builders utilized stone and brick, incorporating pillars and counterforts to withstand the sudden rise of the riera.
